The US President and the Islamic Republic of Iran

If a Democrat candidate elects the White House Office as a President, the economic sanction against the theoretic regime will become less forceful. If a Republican candidate is elected to the White House office as the Us President, the financial penalty will harm Iranians. The end product is not a regime change in Iran. 

In retrospect, the US foreign policy in Vietnam and South America is the same as the Middle East. The Jimmy Carter Administration installed the Islamic Republic's puppet regime in Iran to perpetuate war in the region and to expand the US military in the area and to support the US war financial resources.

“The Sword of Persia: Nader Shah from Tribal Warrior to Conquering Tyrant” by Michael Axworthy


Nader Shah was born in the fortress of Dasgerd into the Qereqlu clan of the Afshars; a semi-nomadic Turkic tribe settled in the northern valleys of Khurasan. His father, Emam Qoli, was a herdsman.

At the age of 13, his father died, and Nader became the breadwinner for his family. In 1704, when he was about 17 years old, a band of Uzbek Tartars invaded the province of Khurasan. Nader was living with his mother. The Uzbek took him, and his mother died as slaves. In 1708, Nader convinced a Turkmen to let him go, and in return, one day, he will help him.

In this era, Iranian lacked a stable central government and the Safavid dynasty headed by Shah Hussain, who was an incompetent leader. It created a power vacuum and allowed warlords like Hotaki Pashtuns to gain momentum to wage war against Shah Hussein. Shah Hussein lacked the confidence to defend the national sovereignty of Iran, and it collapsed.

Tahmasp II and the Qajar leader Fath Ali Khan needed a more military force to confront Hotaki Pashtuns troops in Iran, and they contacted Nader and asked Nader to join their cause. Nader agreed with them. During this military campaign, he pushed the Afghan forces out of Iran as he became a hero for Iranians. Later on, Nader became aware that Fath Ali Khan was in treasonable correspondence with Malek Mahmud and revealed this to the Tahmasp II. Tahmasp executed Fath Ali Khan. Tahmasp made Nader the chief of his army.

Nader suggested to his confident friends (Tahmasp Khan Jalayer and Hasan-Ali Beg Bestami) that he should become the new king rather than the young Abbas III. No one uttered a word to him. When Nader asked him why they remained silent, Hasan-Ali replied that the best thing for Nader to do would be assembling all leading men of the state, to receive their agreement. Nader approved the proposal and wrote to the chancellery, which included the court historian Mirza Mehdi Khan Astarabadi, instructed to send out orders to the military, clergy, and nobility of the nation to summon at the plains. On March 08th, 1736, Nader ascended to the throne in the attendance of the army, religious, and nobility of the country and the Ottoman ambassador Ali Pasha.

Nader suffered from illnesses and grew angry. He could not control his thoughts. He demanded more tax from Iranians. It caused friction between Iranians and Nader. New revolts broke out throughout Iran, and Nader used military force to respond to those delicate matters. Nader admired Timur that, after capturing a city, Timur built towers from his victims' skulls. Nader imitated Timur's war policy and built a tower from his defeated enemies' heads.

In 1747, Nader deployed his army to suppress Kurdish uprising. His army lacked solidarity. There was a cloud of doubt and suspicion among his army commanders, including two of his relatives: Muhammad Quli Khan, the captain of the guards, and Salah Khan, the overseer of Nader's household. The army officers wanted to save their lives; they decided to assassinate Nader Shah on June 20th, 1747. He was sleeping as the assassinates charged him. He called for his sword. It was too late. No one wanted to help him. Nader killed two assassinate. However, he could not have a melee with fifteen armed men. The fifteen men stabbed Nader to death.

Nader Shah was an ambitious man. He wanted to rule the world. One contemporary Punjabi poet described Nader foreign policy, "when all of India trembled with horror. Nader Shah, the horror of Asia, the pride and savior of his country, and the restorer of her freedom and conqueror of India, who have a simple origin, rose to such greatness that monarchs rarely have from birth."

Joseph Stalin read books about Nader Shah and admired his domestic and foreign policies. Nader Shah's local and international policies were about brute force to bring the opposing force under its subjugation. Stalin viewed Nader Shah in light of Ivan the Terrible. Napoleon Bonaparte applauded Nader Shah's actions and considered himself a new Nader or European Nader Shah.

“Comparing the "Chocolate" movie with the Islamic Republic of Iran”


I am comparing the "Chocolate" movie with the Islamic Republic of Iran by applying some elements of the "Chocolate" movie into the domestic policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The "Chocolate" movie setting begins in an isolated area. Members of the community are attending a Sunday church service, and Mr. Alfred Molina is playing the role of mayor of this community, who is standing on the doorstep of the church as an usher. He welcomes parishioners to the church. From time to time, he may give a welcoming sign to a person to act according to the community's norm. A cold winter storm opens the church doors. The mayor gets off his seat and closes the door.

Juliette Binoche plays the role of a single mom (Vianne Rocher) with her daughter walks in this community. This character is a strong will woman. She is an entrepreneur. She knows what she wants. She finds a commercial and residential store. She cleans the property and starts her profession, which is making chocolate. The mayor walks into her store to welcome her to the community—the mayor dressed in black and grey attire. The mayor invited her to the church. She told him that he did not practice any faith.

The mayor leaves the store in good order. The mayor is sitting behind his work desk and is looking at his wife's picture, who passed away. There is a plate of a breakfast meal. It has bread, butter, and jam. He resists temptation and places the picture of his wife in front of the breakfast plate.

The mayor pays a visit to the local priest. The priest is attending the garden and is dancing with American music. The mayor sees the priest is dancing, and the priest becomes embarrassed. The mayor tells the priest that the former priest worked her for over five decades, and nothing changed. He is hoping the priest will do the same. The priest tells the mayor that he could not resist the American music.

Eventually, the mayor could not resist the temptation of chocolate, breaks into the chocolate store, and indulges himself with chocolate. He passes out in the store by consuming chocolate.

The next morning, the single mom and priest discover the mayor in the store, and the mayor covers with chocolates. The mayor finds himself in a state of disbelief that he follows temptation. He does not like his action. The mayor says that he does not complete the speech for the church service. The priest says I have something to say. The movie ends with a happy message that not everything is immoral; not every temptation is terrible. Having fun, being liberal-minded, does not mean we are violating God's rules. After all, God is about love.

The Islamic Republic of Iran believes every act is immoral; it violates God's laws. Iranians must pray around the clock, mourn every moment, dress in black clothes, and lament for twelve saints who died in the hands of infields. There is no need for chocolate or a taste of happiness in their life. The feeling of joy is like a winter storm that is opening the door of the religious institute. The sense of pleasure must have remained silent. The only reason Iranians can sense; it is a sense of sadness. However, the new ideas and joy come to Iranians whether the theocratic regime in Iran wants to. We are living in a global village; it is inevitable not to change.

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is no Longer a Solution for Iran's Dilemma

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is no longer a solution for Iran's dilemma. He is not performing his duty for Iran and Iranians, which bestowed upon him at his birth. He writes a letter and expresses sadness and disappointment in how Iran's regime is causing harm to Iranians and Iran. Anyone can do this act of writing.

Iranians love Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi because of his grandfather Reza Pahlavi I and his father, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi II, who implemented domestic policies of modernity and progress. However, the 1979 Revolution stopped Iran from moving forward. The 1979 Revolution in Iran caused Iran to move toward the dark ages. This paper aims to explore how the regime's misadventure cause domestic and regional unrest, and failure of Crown Prince to set a precedent to save Iran and Iranians. 

Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran's domestic and foreign policies evolve around Islamic militant values that Shia Islam, Adhere to Twelve  Saints, must be practiced around the world. The clerics in Iran's city of Qom are developing domestic and foreign policies to expand Shia Islam in the region and around the world. The clerics already legislated Islamic laws in Iran. These laws are about controlling people's movement and curbing their civil liberty. These laws are not about creating social order and peace; they are about suffocating people's right to have access to freedom of thought, opinion, and basic necessity of life. The regime in Iran's foreign policy is evolving around the notion of eradicating Israel from the map because Israel is not a legitimate state, and it is occupying Palestine. The theocratic regime invested a substantial amount of money and resources in pushing Israel from Palestine, and the regime's foreign policy failed to accomplish its objective.  The government in Iran caused more pain and suffering for Palestinian individuals and Israeli individuals. The Israel individuals have a good view of Iran and Iranians because Cyrus the Great liberated the Israelis from the captivity of Babylon.  Furthermore, Reza Pahlavi First saved Jewish from Nazi Germany's death chamber. 

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi could not act right away after the 1979 Revolution in Iran, to bring peace, order and good government in Iran because those who revolted against the Pahlavi dynasty believed in the cause of the 1979 Revolution. Four decades past from the time of the 1979 Revolution in Iran. The cleric regime in Iran has a long history of human rights violations. The system engaged in international terrorism by assassinating Iranian dissidents overseas. Thus, the regime in Iran does not have an excellent public image and already guilty in the public opinion court.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has proven to disregard the rule of law and kills Iranians when it desires.  Prince Reza Pahlavi only posts a letter on his Facebook and Twitter accounts that he is sad about what the regime did in Iran to Iranians. The elements of the theocratic regime in Iran embezzle Iran's national revenue, and his majesty feels terrible about what Iranians are facing.

When the CEO of a profit sector or an Executive Director of a non-profit industry is unable to meet the organization's objective, Directors and Board Members are casting their votes against the CEO or Executive Director so the organization could survive. Nothing personal.

In the economic term, it called fiduciary duty when the guardian could not fulfill their mission; the guardian will be relieved of her/his responsibility. Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is born in Pahlavi Family. He had an ample window of opportunity to bring peace in Iran. Particularly during the time of January 08th, 2020. However, he remained silent. 

When Mr. Justin Trudeau ran for the second time for the Prime Minister Office, he was facing political pressure. It was very close for him to lose the election. He re-elected to the Prime Minister Office for the second time. He formed a minority government because his opponent, Mr. Andrew Scheer from the Conservative Party, failed to do his job. Consequently, the Conservative Party gave Mr. Scheer two choices, step down willingly, or the party will step you down. Mr. Scheer steps down as the party leader of the Conservative Party.

In conclusion, Iranians need to draft a petition stating in this petition that his majesty, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi Heir to Throne of Iran, is no longer a solution for Iran's peaceful resolution. Iranians need to form a council and form alliances to bring peace in Iran and the region.

Hidden Racism in Canada

 One day, I was attending a staff orientation of an organization. One manager was running the workshop for this orientation, who asked all staff to make comments on how to improve the organization. I suggested to this manager to have an account on LinkedIn. She told me, "so you would receive a job offer." Welcome to racist Canada. It is no longer hidden racism; it is right on my face.

The Delusion of Living in Canada

I checked different social media profiles; I saw how white people pretend to be diverse by taking pictures with ethnic individuals to disguise their racist views. 

Today`s racism in Canada has nothing to do with Madame Helena Blavatsky Theosophy school of thoughts. Thus, white individuals in Canada do not view themselves as racist.

Today's racism exists, and white individuals want to remain at the top of social hierarchy to acquire wealth, power, and prestige by keeping others at a state of struggle, pain, and suffering. 

The biggest mistake of my life that I escaped Iran and assumed my life would be better in the West, how wrong I was. It is a hell that I am living in. I never should leave Iran, Iran is my motherland.

David Blow published "Shah Abbas: The Ruthless King Who Became an Iranian Legend”


In 2009, David Blow published "Shah Abbas: The Ruthless King Who Became an Iranian Legend”.
This book has twenty chapters. From chapter one to chapter thirteen, the author is discussing Shah Abbas' political life in chronicle order. From chapter fourteen to chapter nineteen, the author discusses the King's private life, the dynamic of Shia-Islam adheres to Twelve Saints with Sufism, Christian, Judism, and Zoroastrian and his contributions to arts and culture. The last chapter of this book discusses Shah Abbas successor Safi, who was a weak leader. He failed to keep Iran united.

On June 02nd, 1524, Shah Tahmasp I became monarch of Iran. He had a son with name Mohammad Khoda Bandeh, who made a family union with Khayr Al- Nisa Begum. The result of this union blossom Abbas, who was the third son of Mohammad Khoda Bandeh.

In 1576, Shah Tahmasp passed away, and his son Ismail II ascended to the throne. Khoda Bandeh could not become a king because he was blind from one eye. The customs of that time did not allow a blind man to become a ruler of Iran. In 1578, Shah Ismail II died, and Bandeh inherited the Safavid Kingdom with the approval of the Qizilbash army leaders.

On July 26th, 1579, Khayr Al- Nisa Begum agitated Qizilbash commanders. In return, the commanders planned to end her life by accusing her of having extramarital affairs with Adil Giray, brother of the Crimean Tatar khan, who held captive in Qazvin. Consequently, she lost her life. Abbas began to dislike Qizilbash. On top of that, Qizilbash also killed Abbas's brother.

King Khoda Bandeh lacked the strong will and determination to lead Iran forward against its archnemesis that they were the Ottoman Empire and the Uzbek militia forces.

Murshid Qoli Khan was a Qizilbash, who became the guardian of Abbas at the age of 14. In October 1587, a large Uzbek army invaded Khurasan. Murshid decided to appoint Abbas as the head of the state of Iran. On October 16th, 1587 King Khoda Bandeh did not object to his deposition and handed the royal insignia over to his son. On October 1st, 1588, Abbas was 17 years old, who became a monarch of Iran.

Iran located at the epicenter of political realism because of the silk road in this particular era. Ottoman Empire was keen to capture Iran and engaged in massive military campaigns of conquering Iran. In 1578, the Ottoman Empire began to encroaching on Iranian land; Iran's army could not withstand Ottoman military forces.

In 1588, Shah Abbas asked for unconditional peace from the Ottoman Empire. In 1590, Shah Abbas signed the Treat of Istanbul to end the Ottoman and Safavid War. Consequently, Iran lost lands to the Ottoman Empire.

Shah Abbas began to reform Iran's army. Sir Anothony Shirley and his brother Robert Shirley asked Monarch of England on behalf of Shah Abbas to enter into an anti-Ottoman alliance.

Eventually, the Ottoman Empire military engaged in suppressing the Celali Rebellions. Shah Abbas used the moment and emancipated the lost lands.

In the 16th Century, the Portuguese established a military base Gombroon; it was a port in the Persian Gulf.

In 1602, Imama Quli Khan Undiladze commanded Iran's naval army and pushed back the Portuguese's navy from Bahrain. In 1622, with the help of four English ships, Abbas regained sovereignty of Hormuz. And Gombroon's name changed to Bander Abbas.

On January 19, 1629, Shah Abbas closed his eyes at the age of fifty-seven and reigned for forty-two years. His body rests in peace outside of Kashan, the shrine of Habib ibn Musa.
